The PPC Ultimate Checklist: How To Know Your Paid Campaign is In Place?

Do you know how PPC works? Do you already have a PPC ultimate checklist for your business?

Let me ask you, who’s better: A 30 years experienced doctor or one with 5 years on the field?

The first one pops to mind almost immediately. Still, social studies have shown that sometimes their knowledge and experience are the things that may be their worst enemy: If they’re not careful, they may soon learn that their ego and arrogance made them commit a fatal error that even someone on the first day on the job could’ve avoided.

Why? Because we are human, and we tend to make mistakes of varying levels – From oversight to now knowing or caring, etc. Those studies aren’t just something created to make us think we’re no good – They also offer a solution: A detailed checklist that you can quickly go through every time you’ve done a crucial task.

In this article, we will cover all the things that you need to check in a PPC or FB paid campaign, and maybe other platforms will come next.
